ArcGIS Pro can access SQLite databases and OGC GeoPackage files and supports connections to mobile geodatabases.
Minimum supported database versions
SQLite 3.45.1 is the latest version certified with ArcGIS. ArcGIS supports all minor and patch versions of SQLite 3.x that are still supported by SQLite.
Supported add-ons
The following versions are supported with ArcGIS:
OGC GeoPackage 1.1 through and including 1.4
SpatiaLite 5.0.1
OGC GeoPackage registered extension support
The following GeoPackage registered extensions are partially or fully supported:
| GeoPackage extension | ArcGIS support |
|---|---|
Metadata | ArcGIS creates the gpkg_metadata and gpkg_metadata_reference tables when you use the Create SQLite Database tool to create the GeoPackage, but you cannot use the ArcGIS Pro metadata editor to populate these tables, and ArcGIS does not read the entries present in these tables. If you publish a hosted feature layer from a GeoPackage that has metadata in these tables, the metadata is not preserved in the published layer. |
Non-Linear Geometry Types | ArcGIS Pro can read and display approximated shapes but cannot create them. If you publish a GeoPackage that contains approximated shapes, the resultant hosted feature layer contains equivalent linear approximations of the shapes present in the source file. |
RTree Spatial Indexes | Fully supported. |
Schema | ArcGIS creates the gpkg_data_columns table when you use the Create SQLite Database tool to create the GeoPackage; however, you define enumerations, ranges, GLOBs, or MIME types using ArcGIS. If you define these using SQL, ArcGIS does not recognize them. If you publish a hosted feature layer from a GeoPackage that has these defined, they are not preserved in the published data. |
WKT for Coordinate Reference Systems | Fully supported. |
Database requirements and limitations
The following database requirements and limitations apply:
- SQLite database files must have a .sqlite extension to be recognized by ArcGIS.
- GeoPackage files must have a .gpkg extension to be recognized by ArcGIS.
- You cannot create a geodatabase in an existing SQLite database. However, you can create a mobile geodatabase, which will create both the geodatabase and the SQLite database in which it is stored.
- You cannot publish web services (web layers) that reference registered data from a GeoPackage file or mobile geodatabase. When publishing web layers that reference data in an SQLite database, only map services are supported.
Platform support
The following platforms are supported:
- All platforms supported by ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Pro
- All platforms supported by ArcGIS Runtime SDK
- All platforms supported by ArcGIS Enterprise
Cloud support
See Requirements for using ArcGIS with databases in the cloud for information on support for database services and databases deployed in the cloud.
